And you can teach me sustainability because you won brownie points for not using single-use plastic, which is anyway banned. I guess I'm trying to ask– what was your job in this exactly? Picking the right colour for the lipstick on a pig?

Kind regards

But you've rather decided to use virgin material for this zero-effort translucent packaging devoid of any design or creative. And claiming moral high ground by pleading ME to repurpose for cables, toiletries and art supplies.

Hi! I ordered a tshirt. You could've very well packed it in a paper bag & shipped it without any logistical issue whatsoever. If you are a strong proponent of plastic utility, then there's easy access to ample recycled plastic out there, in your case it doesn't even have to be food grade.

In India it is mandatory to mention manufacturer's address and licence number on every food packaging. Was quite shocked to see this missing in EU foodscape

Carroll!

I research food labels and certifications and how that creates communal identity. And this story is the perfect example for it. When you pick a bottle of Gold Medals, you see the Thai constitution as an ode to the Siamese revolution, their liberation, and almost a century old value system.

Although it is the 'rooster sauce' that takes away most of the limelight in the international market. So most people wrongly believe sriracha to be Vietnamese. David Tran built an American brand and there's a whole documentary on it.

(Maybe I don't like capitalism 'cause you can't romanticise it)

Here's the "crazy" part. None of the family members leading 4 biggest sriracha brands ever trademarked the name, or their heirloom recipe. There infact is no secret recipe. Everyone knows it, because they intended it to be that way. To share KGT's legacy, to share the joy of food and flavour.

Four generations of quiet existence, no global trade, no mass production, just quality and respect for tradition. KGT's niece started the other original but bigger brand a few years later by the name Sriracha Panich. This one's more widely available.

K Lakud Suwanprasop, KGT's grandson runs the same store his father owned in Bangkok 90 years ago called Hattakamamakarn, meaning house of handmade. His son helps with the business now and 600 litres a month is all the make and sell.

Despite not being granted the region's patent name, the family continues to hand make small batches of this recipe that won gold medals in 1930s. Developed by K Laor, she bottled and labelled it with hand-painted details that is being used to this date.

Hot sauce enthusiasts visiting Thailand should plan a trip to Si Racha district (from Sanskrit Sri raja) and get their hands on Khun Gimsua Timkrachang's legacy– the first commercial sriracha sauce– Gold Medals.

Taylor Swift is too white and american and safe to headline an NFL halftime show. Woke capitalism for the win.

@bsky.app you're unstoppable now with the saved post addition. Luv yah!

Happy Labor Day! I can’t believe it’s September. We had no direct sunrise today but we had several pre-sunrise configurations, including this very nice display to the north. It’s a narrow vertical so definitely tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

I’m trying to replace all the microplastics in my body with butter. My death, my choice.

Could you go without a fridge? 🤯

if this rant wasn’t scary enough a quick google search about agave pinãs should do it. I’m never going to a tequila distillery again.

so I make mexican tepachè with the peels to maximise ROI on all that time and effort spent.
Basically just making my own alcohol at the point in the name of probiotics🤪

I think people have started to fetishize this porcupine of a fruit to just incentivise the labour it demands. Like you have to make weekend plans to remove the military grade peel and raphides because that’s how long it takes!

respectfully, pineapple has no business tasting this good looking like an assault weapon sent from hell

I don’t have any good ideas on how to fix it, but I have great ideas of noticing how it sucks

Anyhoo, next time I plan on taking flowers for someone I’m gonna take figs. Flowers+food+killer story for an ice breaker 💥

If I like them enough then maybe some brie, walnuts and honey too😋

Waiting for some raging feminists to find out about the fact that its only the female figs where the wasps fail to deliver eggs, get trapped and die.
